Chapter 515: Troublemaker

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Xinya was not at all bothered by the news reports. She proceeded to look for Old Mr. Du and informed him of everything that happened to Ning Shuqian that day. Due to the fact that Ning Shuqian’s pulse was too faint, she could not deduce if Ning Shuqian was pregnant or not.

However, Old Mr. Du told her that prolonged and excessive use of blood-nourishing tonics and supplements would cause one’s body to be overly nourished and result in a slippery pulse which would be difficult to diagnose.

Although Wen Xinya had yet to verify if Ning Shuqian was really pregnant or not, she already had an answer, more or less.

However, Xia Ruya seemed to stop receiving positive attention because of her outfit clash with adult film star Sun Xiaorou.

Gu Junling had invited Wen Xinya and the rest of the clique to dinner at Ninth-Heaven and Wen Xinya guessed that it could be regarding Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy.

As expected, the moment Wen Xinya arrived at Ninth-Heaven, Zhou Tianyu immediately asked with immense eagerness, “Xinya, just what is going on with Ning Shuqian?”

Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy had caused an uproar in the circle. However, everyone was not exactly interested in Ning Shuqian. Rather, they were more concerned about whether Wen Xinya could still become the successor of the Wen Family.

After all, Wen Xinya was the long-lost daughter of the Wen Family who only reunited with them two years ago. Not to mention, she also had a disgraceful past. Ever since she returned to the Wen Family, all of her actions were closely monitored by the media and other members of the upper-class society. It was also no secret that Wen Haowen did not treat her like his daughter and Old Mrs. Wen was greatly displeased with her. Hence… at this point, everyone was speculating if Wen Xinya could secure her place as the successor of the Wen Family now that Ning Shuqian was pregnant.

Wen Xinya squinted with a cold expression on her face. She explained, “I took Ning Shuqian’s pulse during the gala previously and she seems to be in the early stages of pregnancy. The doctor at the hospital has also claimed that she’s pregnant. My grandparents and father are buying it completely too.”

Although she was doubtful about it, she chose not to talk about it since she had yet to get the facts verified.

The disharmony within the Wen Family was a thorn in Old Mr. Wen’s flesh, which was also the reason why he had gone to such great lengths to search for Wen Xinya after finding out that Xia Ruya was not his biological granddaughter. Now that Ning Shuqian was pregnant, Old Mr. Wen would definitely have his own plans, and it was understandable that others would begin to wonder if she could keep her status as the successor.

Rather apprehensive about the matter, Xu Tongxuan said with a look of disdain on her face, “Surely Ning Shuqian can’t be getting up to any tricks? She’s already been married to Wen Haowen for eighteen years, during which she was never able to get pregnant. Now that she’s already way past her prime, how could she possibly be pregnant? I find this rather suspicious and absurd.”

She had attended another gala in the past two days, during which she had heard some news about Wen Xinya and Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy revelation, as well as Ning Shuqian’s accusations against Wen Xinya. Although the media had been prohibited from reporting about the accusations, everyone was doubtful towards Wen Xinya. Although the majority did not believe the rumors, there were some who were still apprehensive and suspecting towards her. Hence, it had caused Wen Xinya’s reputation to be tarnished.

Wen Xinya frowned slightly. Although she agreed with Xu Tongxuan, she said, “That may be the case, but Ning Shuqian has been undergoing consistent fertility treatments for the past two years and it’s not exactly impossible for her to get pregnant.”

Although Ning Shuqian never got pregnant in her previous lifetime, lots of things and events were different in this lifetime. Hence, Wen Xinya was not certain if Ning Shuqian was actually pregnant.

Gu Junling said, “But, don’t you find it a little too coincidental that she’s pregnant now? Of all times, she chose to reveal her pregnancy during the Wen Corporation’s annual gala, right in front of all the key personnel of the Wen Corporation as well as other business associates. Not only did she accuse you, but she also embarrassed you and put you in an awkward position.”

Even Old Mr. Gu was shocked about the matter and took pity on Wen Xinya for being born into such a horrible family. It now seemed… that Wen Xinya would no longer have a place in the Wen Family. And even if she managed to keep her position, she would be in a dangerous predicament. She would still have to put in more effort in order to keep everything she had now.

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “I find it very shocking too. For the past two years, Ning Shuqian has been keeping a suspiciously low profile and yet, she announced her pregnancy out of the blue. It feels a little premeditated. However… it’s not easy for me to investigate on anything for now. I’m afraid that Ning Shuqian might use her pregnancy as an excuse and lay a trap to set me up.”

Ning Shuqian was receiving great attention because of her pregnancy. If Wen Xinya were to check up on things now and openly declare her doubts about Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy, even Old Mr. Wen would be displeased with her.

Ling Qingxuan hurriedly said, “Since you’re not in a convenient position to do so, I’ll check it for you! My family deals with the entertainment industry and we have a broad network of connections. Even if we get exposed, I can just shift the blame to the paparazzi. You won’t be implicated.”

It was unlikely to be there nothing fishy with Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy. Hence, it would be better to check up on it sooner.

“Qingxuan, here’s a toast from me,” Wen Xinya said with much gratitude before downing a glass of liquor at one go. Ling Qingxuan’s suggestion had appealed to her. She initially wanted to seek Si Yiyan’s help in investigations, but now that Ling Qingxuan had offered to help, she would definitely be more than glad to accept it. After all… she did not wish to be overly reliant on Si Yiyan.

“Nice!” Gu Junling exclaimed.

Liveliness and enthusiasm instantly filled the air in the room.

Zhou Tianyu held onto Wen Xinya’s hand and said, “Ning Shuqian is a troublemaker, to begin with. You must be very careful of the possibility that she might use her pregnancy to harm and set you up.”

Zhou Tianyu was still rather worried about it, for Wen Xinya was in a dangerous position, especially since the cunning Ning Shuqian had the help of the sly and scheming Xia Ruya.

Xu Tongxuan chimed in. “Tianyu is right. The Wen Family has always placed emphasis on blood ties. Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy is like a trump card, and if she wants to use it to stir some trouble, even your grandfather will show her mercy. You must prevent her from getting the chance to sow discord between you and your family.”

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Got it, rest assured!”

Gu Junling said, “After the end of this semester, you’ll be sitting for your final examinations. Don’t let all of this mess distract you. As long as you’re outstanding enough, you’ll be able to secure your footing in the Wen Family.”

Ling Qingxuan agreed. “Leave the investigation on Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy to me. Just focus on your revision for your exams and ignore the rest.”

Incredibly touched to see how concerned her friends were about her, Wen Xinya said, “Don’t worry, you guys! These are just peanuts, they don’t matter to me.”

Everyone felt a sense of relief after seeing the glow in her eyes.
